Going to bed and realizing how THIRSTY I am but being too tired and lazy to get up and haul my ass downstairs to refill my glass, so I lay there tortured and conflicted...oh just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm in the desert.

Fuzzy spiders that LOOK AT YOU. Ohmigod, I'm going to scream.

Ashlee Simpson and her stupid new nose.

Some Things I Just Don't Get:

There's a squirrel behind our house with a hairless tail. Honest to God. Other than that, it looks like a regular squirrel. My husband thinks it's some Freak Rat/Squirrel Cross Mutant. Did it have a bushy tail at one time and get it caught in something? Do young squirrels not have furry tails? Is it a Terrorist-Bred Weapon that's going to slither into our garage one day with its Rat Tail and then sneak into our house under our feet when we aren't looking and strangle us with its Unholy Appendage while we're sleeping?!?

Why do the people in vaccuum cleaner commercials have SO MUCH CRAP on their floors? Um, an entire pot of dirt? Twigs and leaves? Half a box of cereal??? Piles of paper confetti?!!? What is going on in these houses? *sigh* My house is boring.

The appeal of owning a snake. Umm...ACK. *shudder*

How do people our age with no kids meet new friends? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Is there ANYONE in the world who doesn't like pie and ice cream? I can't imagine such a thing. That would be so sad.

This is me.

I'm an animal snuggler, Lover of Words and raging introvert who others often confuse for an extrovert. I'm typically caffeinated as a rule, BE IT BY BEAN OR BY LEAF.

This is the year I'll be talking a lot about my journey to grow further as a photographer, artist, music addict, YOGISTA, writer, volunteer, life adventurer, ALMOST-VEGETARIAN, runner, book devourer, knee sock connoisseur and procreator (yes, after 13 years we're finally working on that one, and it may be a more twisty path than we anticipated).
